Should this be my next car?

- I've been thinking about getting a new car for a while now. I have a feeling that I might have made a mistake getting rid of my old Mini. So today I'm testing out the new Mini Cooper S to see if that should be my next car.

Lucy, this is amazing! So glad you enjoyed the MINI. But we can do better than that. How would you like a trip to Scotland, a film crew and a little advice from our tamed racing driver?
That sounds awesome, sign me up!
@@LucyBrownVids Careful now, you'll be giving Captain Slow a run for his money.
Does this mean the Stig is no longer retired 😂😂😂
Please link this or make us well aware
Some say he knows two facts about ducks, and both of them are wrong!
James May is definitely sitting somewhere with a huge smile on his face as he watches this video, just like the rest of us. The display is freaking adorable too.
James is homosexuality
JUNK! James knows NOTHING about cars' mechanic failures. Obviously.
Except for that part where James, by his OWN admission, does NOT WATCH these videos unless she makes him. He's said as much many times through the years. Not sure how you're confused by that?
I was waiting for him to do a cameo holding a camera filming her lol
@@NorthernChev to be fair, James is the least reliable source of information about his life :D
For your first standalone car review, that was pretty great, Lucy. Well done!
See a Lucy brown notification. Stop everything and watch it straight away.
You... Me... Same.
Same from the US.
The one person having clicked the infamous bell button.
"As long as your friends are more Richard Hammond's size than Jeremy Clarkson's size, you'll be okay." Absolute gold.
Wow, this is just a proof how Lucy is professional and skilled, and her natural shyness is not going to be problem anymore, cause she did everything perfect, from camera works, edits, to presentation. And fact that she even presented how the video is made is so OG, behind cameras work, incorporated with some great b-rolls and close ups, outdoor shots, riding shots, everything is tutto perfetto 👌
Keep on good work Lucy, this is great 👍 ✌️
I want to see James reaction to watching this, he will be proud, great content as always Lucy 😊
The notification for Lucy's video came in at the same time as James May, and Drivetribe. I watched her video first.
Edit: Outstanding review of the Mini Cooper S. Hopefully she gets enough subs so she can get one of her own!
I really enjoy your "behind the scenes" documentary style. Your smooth transition into the review itself was lovely. It is wonderful to watch your explorations into how videos are made. Shows how very difficult everything James May does really is. Not the least bit interested in buying a new car. But, if I was I'd take a look at the Mini because of your presentation. Suspect I'll think well of them every time I see one on the road now. Well done.
Nicely put together, good details and the video/audio quality are excellent.
Cheeky grin when you give it the boot at 9:15 is so telling!
You're a natural. Keep it up 🎉
That's what she said.
I like the review! It's honest, and fun too that you have a little quick behind the scenes before the actual review. As with the other reviews you've done on travel, you have a very factual type of tone when talking about things, and the neat thing about that is it's easy to see when you genuinely react (positively or negatively) to something. The smiles that that this car induced spoke volumes. Setting yourself apart from the tons and tons of car reviews on TH-cam means touching on things not everyone does or would, like the signal light sound - that's great! It's a little thing, sure, but the reality of owning a car is that all those little things sum up to the whole experience of owning and using it, and if you hate that sound, well, that may find itself on a list of things you don't like about the car. On a sidenote, it made me chuckle because it reminded me of a mid-2000s Ford Focus, which had the weirdest signal light sound I'd ever heard (like... coconuts bonking together). Well, whatever car you end up with, I hope it's enjoyable, still practical and reliable.
Mini should pay you because I'm seriously considering buying one in the future. I was not a car fanatic like my brother, but thanks to him, I got to watch a million episodes of Top Gear. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'll watch your car reviews over the unholy trinity. Not because they weren't entertaining but because some of their technical details went over my head. In contrast, I really like your pacing, information, B-roll, graphics, and overall style.
Keep up the excellent work!!
As a car review it was excellent!
It was informative and to the point with facts and features.
The camera work and editing was of a very high standard given you shot it all by yourself, and the end result looked very professional.
And definitely buy it, any car that puts a smile on your face when you drive it, is definitely the one you buy!
Loving the style of this review Lucy! there's a nice pace to it and you seem very relaxed in front of the camera. Keep at it.🚘
Lucy gives a refreshing perspective that is differant from most car view shows or videos. Most of us purchase and drive a car to get to work, run errands, take kids to school..., Market data reveals that right around the $34,500 mark the buyer begins to "want" certain things and how the car makes us feel from that large investment. I think Lucy's review gives us a more "feelings" review that most of us desire. 95% percent of the world can't afford a high performance super car with a technical sheet of details or features we will never use on a highway with a 65 mph limit. I have had one high performance car that was a disaster to drive in bad weather and was down right torture in a 2 hour freeway backup. Lucy is on the right track for a car review of us "regular" people. Thanks Lucy and let us know if the VW gets replaced!
Always fun to watch Lucy one of my favorite TH-camrs because she is her self.
Excellent work Lucy. Keep the content coming!
Hi Lucy, that was super slick and informative. More car videos please!
Excellent video, Lucy! 👏👏
Excellent review Lucy. You packed so much information into such a brief time. Great job.
You know it's a awesome day when Lucy Brown drops a new video.
Well done! It made me miss my MINI. Perhaps I need another. 🤟
Hi, Lucy, you are top class, excellent video, master at editing and impressive presence. Great job
Fantastic summary. Very to the point and you cover what is important. Nice one!
I owned a Mini one 1.2 Petrol 2016 for 2 years (now belongs to my sister as I moves country) but it was the best car I ever owned. It took me to Cologne in Germany, North Lake district, Belgum and so many other places and it was such a fun car to drive, albeit nowhere near as sporty as this.
I can see why so many people love minis so much.
Lucy Brown is great, we all love Lucy
Great first review video. I don’t hate the new lights but, even as an American, loved the more traditional Union Jack taillights. Yes, I know it is basically a German car.
Your editing is always phenomenal and I absolutely love your delivery. One of the best practical auto reviews I’ve seen in a long time. Down to the indicators, I know if I’d like this car or not, excellent work. Can’t wait to follow your career, you’re going to get more and more spectacular.
Cool Review also with a Smile or two from Lucy.
Lucy is flying, in her own right. Inspiring to watch.
That was great! I would think there would be a market for car reviews for non-gearheads. This was well-presented and thought out, but totally accessible to someone who only wants to know how the car felt and what the useful features are. Nicely done!
Loving 🥰 the videos Lucy. There's something about your videos and you have a way that makes you seem awkward or shy like that keeps me really entertained. Keep up the awesome videos!!!
Great video, Lucy! Even as someone who knows very little about cars, I found your explanation very clear and engaging. You have a real talent for making complex topics accessible and enjoyable. Keep up the great work! 🎉
Fantastic job Lucy. I love the way you first showed us the set-up regarding how you would break down and film the review and then showed us the actual review. Absolutely amazing - very well done. More please 🙂
Lovely car and you did great lots of hot hatches out there Golf gti Focus st etc should always test the market before committing to buy.
You absolutely need to show James. He has definitely shaped you to being way more confident in front of the camera.
P.S. I love the new mini and I think they ruined it with the rear. The Union Jack lights looked fantastic and were iconic. Nothing lasts for ever but it is definitely a brave choice.
My opinion, it's a great review video! Not May or Hammond like, which would be wrong for you. I love the more experiential (is that a word...I feel like it should be a word) viewpoint of your review. It makes me think more of how I would feel owning and driving the Mini S. In other words, great job! Thanks Lucy!
Very well done! The Mini looked great fun. You don’t see many up here in the North of Finland. An older Passat estate is the most common car 😆
Nailed it! You made me *almost* want one... 🙂
You did great! Better than 90% of the car reviews posted out there. Please make many more. Subscribed.
Any data to justify your 90%?
Nicely done Lucy. You did a great job reviewing the car- covered the basics. I enjoy all your content, especially the cheap travel shows.
Well done.
Well done. I just wish the manual was still an option. It was the main reason I went with a 2024 Golf R. I loved my previous Mini Cooper S. wanted a JCW for 2024. No no. Electic only here in Canada
Don’t knock the electric as I’ve just picked up a 2020 Mini Cooper S first mini I’ve owned although my wife did have a classic when we met 30 years ago. We both love our cooper SE. Admittedly it’s our second car but still loads of fun. No pops and bangs just very quiet 😊😊We charge it at home and never have a worry about the range.
Car review was good! You need your own Lucy signature touch tho.....you've proven to us that you can make the "traditional" travel vlog, and now car review too.....but we want something more unique!! I have faith you can add this as your style and skills evolve. Awesome work!
I am seeing more of them on the road here where I live in South West Florida, Lucy. Great review!!!
Fantastic Lucy! You have the Midas touch! You should be mega proud of yourself! Great review and as ever 150% for presentation style.
nice one Lucy, for a first car review it was good. Keep up the good work
Brilliantly done Lucy! More of that please, you're a natural.
I drove a Mini Cooper S for five years. Loved it.
Your experience shooting car videos is plain to see, fantastic. As for being your first video as the reviewer / presenter.....NAILED IT! Hope to see more in the future.
😊love it 👍🏼- thank you- a great presentation - Lucy Brown your work is amazing 💐
it's really cool to see how a car review is filmed, great video!
Well done Lucy, I’ve watched you grow as many May followers will contest, as I started watching a pro from the get go. Go girl ❤🇦🇺🏴🥂
Good job Lucy! And I quite like the new Mini as well....being it is in the BMW family so it's close to home for me as well. :)
Not a fan of those seperate screens for the HUD though...better when it's on the windscreen...but that's not the worst of those I've seen.
I wouldn't mind seeing more vids like this!
Nice Job Lucy! You prove time and again that you can do anything.. travel videos, car reviews, eating spam! Great seeing how much more confident you have become over the last couple of years. Keep it up!!
Thank you Lucy, good review.
Excellent video, loved the behind the scenes first and the review was perfect. Can’t wait for the next one!
That was great! Well done! Thank you Lucy Brown!
That was pretty good! I certainly loved the making of it at the beginning. Very insightful!
Really enjoyed this review. It's nice to see a car review that is more about form and function than spec. Great work.
You have come so far!! Your presentation is natural, comfortable and not forced at all. Greet review!!
Awesome job - love all your videos and this is a nice variant from the “spec-sheet” type reviews. Much more personal and approachable.
Well done! Looking forward to the next car video, and how those indicators sound.
Someone who kows how to shout a video + is unbiased = the best car review ever! -> Therefore, I love it!!
Great review Lucy, definitely a natural keep up to great work 👍🏻
I have only had one mini, still driving it, and still love it everytime i get in it.
This. This. THIS!!!! Is legendary Lucy! Well done! 😃😃😎
You did so well Lucy , Loved this! .... I remember when you were so shy just to be on camera that it was hard to get a good take. But now look at you ! :) .... Much love and keep doing what you are doing. x
Excellent honest review, nice to see the different types of recording. Congratulations to Lucy keep up the hard work 💪
Wonderful work! I’d love to hear more reviews! I love your perspective, and the behind the scenes bits were fun!
Heads up Lucy it's a Head-Up-Display! Love your style!
You need it when the speedo is out of your line of sight - that's as bad as a Tesla (but it makes switching RHD to LHD much cheaper, of course.
I thought you did a really good job and I also really like "the making of" part at the beginning. Fascinating to see all the thought and work that goes into what many might think is a relatively easy and simple video.
I test drove the Cooper S and was impressed w/ the ride. it absorbed bumps so well, had quick turn in and easy to drive. The steering wheel material was noisy though ..need to put a cover on it. BRG and DDC for me :
Hi Lucy! Your car review was excellent, I really liked it. I would have liked to see a shot of what it looks like under the bonnet. Otherwise, keep up the good work! Greetings from Oregon!
yes more please any video with lucy is a win for me
Lucy, you did great. Well done.
Outstanding job Lucy!
Great vid Lucy! Personally I hate what Mini have done with the exterior looks, especially the taillights, but the new interior looks light years ahead of the first New Mini 👍
Lucy your review video is very informative and very entertaining, imo you should definitely do more of them. Hello from Ontario, Canada.
I rated your video at eleven out of ten Lucy. Really clever concept, review a review, and skilfully shot and edited. Really enjoyed it.
Only eleven? Don't be mean!
Good job Lucy! I'm going to check out the Mini lineup.
Love your video style. B roll then review. Great job.
Love it Lucy. Really like all of your content, but I really enjoyed this car review. You’re a natural and I really appreciate your simple, common sense approach. Looking forward to more of this ;)
Great job Miss Lucy, you knocked it out of the park! I’m from Oklahoma and I retired from the car business in 2011. We were a Nissan dealer with a preowned business called,”Sports & Imports.” Most of these were off lease purchases, including the MINI. We did very well with these and the maintenance were very good. They were a blast to drive! Again, thoroughly enjoyed your video, keep them coming!🏁🇬🇧
Top Notch, mate! Keep up the good work, your videos are great!!
Well done Lucy!! Great style and glad to see you getting comfier talking to camera. 😄
“The boot is not the largest .. *Clarkson pause* .. in the world.”
Doug Demuro watch out. THIS was a good review. Cute car too.
Your relaxing a lot into presenting it's nice to see, I think your hands get wavy when your not comfortable but it's getting better :)
Wavy hands seem to go with "presenter territory" but Lucy is nowhere near as bad as some I've seen. Proof: I didn't noticed her wavy hands until you pointed it out. 🙂
To be honest, you made me want to go to a mini cooper dealership and actually buy one as my daily driver. Nice Car review :)
I absolutely loved it Lucy! Keep going!
I thought it went really well. It was informative, gave us what we needed to hear about the car without going into too much detail. You came over really well.
One thing I noticed and I don't like personally is no dash in front of the driver, apart from the heads up display.
Fantastic!!!! So much better than a lot of the click bait nonsense so many other creators put out.
Lucy. Good review, i'm not sure with the new rear. But ever thing else, looks good. Thanks...
I had a JCW Mini as a demonstrator car for a week in 2016; proper hooligan stuff [including pops and bangs] Great Review.
You did a cracking job! Loved every minute of it! Keep on going!
Great video Lucy. I wouldn't worry about how a car journalist would review a car. I think you offer a unique perspective on what features are important to you. Cheers.
Looking lovely as always. I had to go back a couple of times to catch what you said 😂 I think for a first car review, you did amazingly well. I hope you do more 😊
Great job! Looks awesome. That center display is insanely cool. I'd go for it!
It's round to mimic the round central speedometer in the original Mini. Germans are great at copying Brits. 🙂
Nice work Lucy. Really enjoyed the review, I think often people do reviews how they think other people think they should be done, rather than what you did and the review on the things that are important to you. Cheers for the vid
I watch a lot of car reviews, and I really liked yours!
